Obligatory: Fagballs

Real: Harvey

Kensington Von Nounverb.

FUCK! Nostalgia bomb!

Name: Harvey. Yeah...

Look forward to getting your fire starter from the local professor, Harvey!

How 'bout Harley?! :D

[If no one has any other suggestions, I'm probably gonna go with Harvey.]

What's wrong with Harvey?

[Nothing; I'm just making sure there's plenty of time for you guys to voice your opinions because this name is obviously going to follow the player character around for the rest of the game.

... Actually, at this point, I've given you guys more than twelve hours. Okay then!]

VOICE: So your name is HARVEY. That's... interesting, I guess.

Moving on.

Uh, hang on, actually. This person isn't really your rival. I guess you could say he's more of, um, a mildly unpleasant acquantaince. Well. You've seen each other a couple of times, you're pretty sure. And, um, maybe, you looked at each other with vague disdain.

Oh, who are you kidding. You don't really know this person at all.

Which is why I need you to tell me his name, of course.

Carlton.

That's definitely his name.

er....Chester?

Douche!

[Whatever you guys can form a consensus on.

You just have to, you know, come to a consensus on something.]

gotta go with douche

Lennie. Lennie for sure.

Douche.

Definitely Douche.

VGCats references only make it more appealing.

By VG CATS you mean SUPER EFFECTIVE.

And yeah, Douche is pretty good, though if we're going to make the protagonist HARVEY we might as well name him BRUCE.

Maybe GORDON.

DIFFERENT VOICE: We have always been in favor of the notion that games should be played the way you, the player, want to play them. However, the name you have selected is invalid, due to unspecified technical or legal reasons. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, but will have to ask you to select another name.

Also, if you're playing this game, aren't you a little young to be using that sort of word?

[No VGCats reference for you because I have an irrational hatred for Scott Ramsoomair.

Okay well actually because I just plain old don't want to have the rival character named "Douche" because it interferes with storytelling a bit but you know. The VGCats thing isn't helping, anyway.]

... Huh. You wonder what that weird daydream was all about.

Well, now you seem to be in your room. There's not a whole lot in here, honestly. You should probably head on down to the local Pokémon Research Center before too long; it's where you'll receive the documents and equipment necessary for licensed Pokémon training.

But you've got some time. There's no rush. It's not like too many people live in this town anyway.

[Well, it's 19:00 board time, supposedly. Hopefully someone shows up.]

Play game system.

With the powers of your mind, I guess, since there's no controller.

>>59
check the computer, always something useful on there

>>59

[Okay, so obviously something went wrong on my end, and also I didn't get a whole lot of posts. Maybe I should follow my own advice and announce this on IRC or something.

First session will really start, oh, I don't know, same time tomorrow should probably work. So 19:00 tomorrow and sorry for screwing this up.]

MOM: Well, it's... I'm just not sure I'm really ready for you to leave. You're still so young... But I guess everyone does this at some point.

MOM: Oh, did you get the present from your Dad upstairs? I put it in your room. He says he's sorry he couldn't be here, but he's stuck on another business trip.

MOM: I wish he'd come home more often...

PRESENT GET!

No, I changed my mind. Try streaking.

Actually, you were reading up on this not too long ago. Pokémon trainers are, by tradition, given a starter of one of three types, but when you tried to look up the starters for your region, it said that due to supply issues it was difficult to say which starters would be available.

You didn't have time to research further. Guess you'll find out at the lab...

Now try streaking?

>>85
presents are awesome! Let's go get it! ... unless it was the potion... in that case dad is a cheapo.

>>86

Your mom is still sitting right there.

Plus, you've never really thought of yourself as the kind of person who'd do this sort of thing.

Actually I changed my mind.

Present get now?

You go back upstairs and open up the cardboard box that was sitting in your room.

You find a hat and a note from your Dad.

Oh, and P3000's worth of cash. Not bad at all.

Go back downstairs to have your mom see you off.

Then go outside of your house.

Alternatively, explore the rest of your house's first floor.

You resist the inexplicably strong urge to be a total asshole to a guy you've never met (though you make a mental note to consider this tactic for future encounters), and answer honestly.

The guy mutters something under his breath, and then continues.

GUY: I guess we're the only ones who even showed up for this. Maybe it's cancelled or something.

GUY: So, uh. You have a name or something?

Tell him that girly dickwads like him don't deserve to know your name. Only faggots mumble.

>>114819
"No. No I don't."

Tell him your name is Harley. Offer a hand to shake, then pull it back at the last second and sneer, "Loseeeer!" at him.

We're going to be the best rival ever.

"Psyche!"

He looks outright baffled. Totally didn't see that coming at all.

You're pleasantly surprised to note that despite your misgivings about doing it... that actually felt kind of good.

So what now? Bruce is still standing there kind of stunned, but there's more hallway and a couple of doors behind him.

>>116997
Slap him on the shoulder and say "You're such a good sport!"

Clap him on the shoulder companionably. Then, with a jolly smile, tell him that if he fucks with you you'll push his shit in. Then walk off towards the new doors.

Weirdo.

So, now what?

Look for clues! Unless Brucey's a hopeless dweeb, the professor isn't in. Maybe he left a note? Check this place out.
